Joy!

Her mama and I took Mara to the zoo at lunch. After her mama left, Mara and I walked around a bit and then Mara discovered the large grass park area and other kids and spent an hour racing around joyously. Then we moved on to the water play area and she spent another happy hour playing with still more other kids. At that point I pried her loose and took her to her mama.

I give thanks for joy in the world.
